Roofing tiles, chimney-pots, cowls, chimney liners, architectural ornaments and other ceramic constructional goods
HS v2017 Code: 6905
About roofing tiles, chimney-pots, cowls, chimney liners, architectural ornaments and other ceramic constructional goods
HS code 6905 covers a diverse range of ceramic construction materials, including roofing tiles, chimney-pots, cowls, chimney liners, and architectural ornaments. These products play a crucial role in the construction and renovation of buildings, contributing to their structural integrity, aesthetic appeal, and functionality. The 6905 industry is an integral part of the broader construction sector, supporting the development of residential, commercial, and industrial properties worldwide.
Production process
The production of ceramic constructional goods under HS code 6905 typically involves a multi-step process. Raw materials, such as clay, are first extracted and processed into the desired shapes and sizes. These shapes are then dried and fired in high-temperature kilns, which fuse the materials and give the products their characteristic hardness and durability. Depending on the specific item, additional finishing touches, such as glazing or decorative elements, may be applied to enhance the product's appearance and performance.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the 6905 industry include clay, sand, and other mineral-based raw materials. Specialized machinery, such as molding equipment, kilns, and glazing stations, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, including ceramic artisans and engineers, to design, manufacture, and quality-control the final products.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the 6905 industry are the various ceramic constructional goods, such as roofing tiles, chimney-pots, and architectural ornaments. These products are primarily consumed by the 4501 Construction industry, where they are used in the construction and renovation of buildings. Additionally, the output of the 6905 industry may be used in other related industries, such as 6904 Ceramic building bricks, flooring blocks, support or filler tiles and the like and 6907 Unglazed ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles; unglazed ceramic mosaic cubes and the like, which utilize similar ceramic materials for different construction applications.
